PLZ DONT NOT GET THIS APP!!! u shouldnt get It because It tricks u thinking that ur in a peaceful word & every thing is perfect but in reality It tricks you that you think everything is peaceful & perfectly & the things that you want are perfect but no It just wants you to come back to It, It sends you notifications about how u should turn off ur device but If u turn off ur device the app will turn on ur device & give you a notification to let you be on ur device, the problem is with these meditation apps are they are not letting you & ur mind think about the things you remember having that are amazing & peaceful, they are just letting you think about fake peace & not letting you go out anywhere but in ur house with ur device on with the app. and you will get bad attitude because from this app, like the things that you want are not the things you want, you need to do your OWN meditation like example you need yo think about the stuff you remember and the stuff today that you had are peaceful and amazing & exciting & that your great full for It. Not a fake Imaginary peaceful land, you actually need to think about your amazing & peaceful reality that you remember or that you did today or a few days ago like that, (I know this is a lot to read but thank you for reading them all & I hope you understand that & that your okay and save.) (If you dont understand It then go watch Julianne keu on YouTube, thats were I got this from to get rid of the app.)
Amazing!alphaleopard207on2024-04-15 Currently im struggling a lot mentally, i almost got sent to an in-patient mental hospital. I now have to take counseling and just waking up in the morning fills me with dread to the point i sometimes just sleep the whole day away… and would often feel to sick and nauseated by stress and anxiety that i would not eat most of the day if at all
But the meditation on this app rlly helps, at the end of the day i have my relax time, where i do some of the exercises meant to relieve stress or anxiety and i just try to forget about the world for a little bit to enjoy my last few hours of peaceful quiet for the day. It also helps me calm down enough to eat my food and keep it down. It really really helps, and it also has helped me fall asleep when my mind would usually be running. Its making this hard time a little more bearable, and if you have some stress or anxiety weighting on you, i very much suggest this app for you!
I downloaded this app because I’m having trouble falling asleep and thought i might find something helpful. Instead, I ended up with more frustration. Upon initial installation, I was prompted to pay an annual fee of approximately $70 or I could pay a smaller monthly fee. Since I wasn’t sure if I would like the app or not I wasn’t comfortable paying. After dismissing this initial prompt to pay, I was then met with another prompt with a “limited time discount”. I was suckered into this limited discount, thinking if I liked the app, it would actually be a good deal. However, after about an hour of scrolling around inside the app, trying to find a soothing voice or a soothing meditation or anything that was remotely, relaxing instead, I ended up hearing annoying voices and became more frustrated than when I began. I have had better experiences with free apps that are more thoughtfully designed than this one.
4/14/24: SELLING YOUR DATA! 1️⃣Despite what they say about your data—read their Privacy Statement—where they mention 3rd party groups—can be what they like to call resellers.
2️⃣They're more concerned with using celebrities rather than someone with very good/excellent speaking skills. Matthew McConaughey, Michael Bublé, & Regé-Jean Page are TERRIFIC! (Would have been Zero🌠without them.) How I wish they would record more sleep stories. Ramon Tikaram, Cillian Murphy, & Kevin Bacon are VERY good as well. 3️⃣" Curious Case of the Overnight Oats" & "The Hidden Life of Mushrooms" & "Excerpts From the BFG" are awful. However, the worst of the worst was everything by Tamara Levitt (terrible vocal sound/quality/control) & KKB/Calma Sutra but then they were outdone by the horrific It's a Wonderful Sleep Story. The AI generated voice & cadence couldn't be worse. 4️⃣Calm App is an Overpriced Overhyped Oversold but Underwhelmed app.
Too gamified & cluttered now Love the sleep stories. Bought a lifetime subscription 5 years ago. They just won’t stop fiddling with the interface, though, and I’m less and less satisfied. When I wake up in the middle of the night, I just want to pick another story: I don’t want to be confronted with my “streak,” I don’t want to be told to take a bath before bedtime, I don’t want to run through all the choices on the app (which are legion). Gamifying meditation and sleep does not make for a calm experience—it makes it more stressful! And in the middle of night case—harder to use and counterproductive! The devs are so bent on getting users to try every new feature on the app (selling data?) that they’re failing to use common sense. Just let us arrange out own home screens and block out the features we don’t want or use. Please!
My Morning AND Nightly Routine I have been a loyal Calm user for years and delighted with the quality and creativity of this project. So many similar ones seem to stall in the development of their vision.
Calm has picked up momentum, especially in recent years to the extent that I recommend it to everyone! And as a older person with ADHD, I can’t imagine living without it.
Keep up the amazing work Calm. I’ll be gifting subscriptions to my whole family for Christmas this year instead of the usual cookies and candy. Because Calm is the best (healthiest) treat imaginable.

ps: I would love to have the Breath Bubble available as a regular feature and be able to keep it playing for a variety of times. The visual and especially the chimes are absolutely a genius idea. Congratulations!
Life changing - can’t believe I waited so long to try itOrangetang222on2024-04-11 I’ve been using this app for a couple weeks - it’s helped so much to restore calm and build healthy mindfulness techniques, relieving intense anxiety. The daily Jay has a piece of motivational advice everyday. The outstanding sleep stories have helped me fall asleep peacefully (never did I imagine such a concept for adults) and if awakened with anxious thoughts in middle of night, I can listen to something curated with intention of falling back to sleep, and it works! It builds the restorative habits the many of us with hectic lives need - we often don’t see past our daily lives to make time for ourselves. This app helps build those important habits for the mind. I feel more positive each day. So try it - $70 for a year is a deal due to how useful it is.
I don’t like that a lot of apps now have Subscriptions I don’t like that a lot of apps now have Subscriptions. Even apps that you have to buy first. Then they have subscriptions. The cost of living has gone up and so has corporate greed. Food cost more. Diet plays a big part in our health. We have to eat healthy in order for our bodies to function properly. 1. physical health comes first. When a person eats healthy they feel better. We need proper nutrition in order to maintain good health. 2nd. our mental health. This app can be good. I also like VR which is a 360 view that makes you feel like you’re really there. Meta Quest headsets. Calm could make an app for the Meta Quest headset and make it so that the person can use it offline. 1.A Beach scene. 2. Car ride. FirePlace. To name a few.
Good product with nonexistent supportZestylemontreeon2024-04-20 I bought a lifetime subscription in 2019. One week ago, I updated my phone for the first time in those 5 years. I was suddenly locked out of Calm premium (though my account history still showed all the thousands of hours of listening I’ve done).
I’m stuck in an endless loop of generic, unrelated macros with their “support” team who seems unempowered to actually help. It’s been 8 days, and based on the emails I’ve gotten, I don’t think anyone has actually read my requests or looked at my account.
I depend on Calm for sleep; their product is amazing, but this horrible, stressful experience with their support team will make me use a different service just as soon as I find one.
This app I have been using for ever! It is my #1 recommendation for help to sleep and calm down from life stress etc, I can now choose from a variety of stories meditations and mornin workouts! I got this app when I started having deep thoughts and my Alexa stories weren’t working and I would wouldn’t sleep well at night. This app is and always will be #1 because, this app like I said has stories, meditations, exercises, and other things like sleep tracking, mood checking,
user use, and sooooooooo much more hope you respond and never give up on this app
